Re: Crufts [quote author=MadMudMob link=topic=4775.msg59730#msg59730 date=1394396402] Have just seen the Fox Terrier that won the Terrier group and it is perfection!! Absolutely stunning and a real dog shape. Don't see many now but they were very popular in the UK between the wars. [/quote] Gets our vote for best in show
Re: Crufts Have switched over to Top Gear in disgust. That's how bad I think Crufts is. How can that American cocker be called a Gundog? Sorry, it's just not for me. I like normal, healthy, happy dogs, and I like to see what they are capable of, and watch them doing a job, in partnership with their owner. I am not interested in over-pampered, frou-froued creatures that can can barely run around the ring - and that's just the handlers, haha... : Anyway, learned my lesson - I'm out.
Re: Crufts Just received a tip from one of the Utility Judges that the hideously primped Standard Poodle is tipped to win The breeder of the SP also bred the American 'Cocker Spaniel'
Re: Crufts I like the Rottie and the Fox terrier. Not overly impressed by the others. I think the wolfie looks a bit chunky?
Re: Crufts I like the poodle. I can have bad hair days too, and don't expect people to write me off. ;D ;D Like the Rottie too. See Romeo didn't make it through.
Re: Crufts Looking at these showdogs now I feel like an ex addict .... ashamed of my showing and brief dabbling in judging :-[

Re: Crufts I think in a nice even clip it would probably be a very lovely normal looking dog For a poodle
